The First Greenback Paper

The bank-note paper used for the
United States "greenback" was made
under the Wilcox patent, at the mills of
that old Pennsylvania firm, whose mills,
curiously enough, hal also made the
paper for tho continental currency of
revolutionary days. It was rendered
distinctive by tho use Of silk fibres Of
red and blue, the rcd being mixed with
the pulp in the engine, so that it was
scattered throughout the substance Of
the paper, while the blue wa, in gcnious-

Edward Atkinson has been examining
the records in ready-mado clothing cs-
adjustments to discover whether the
white man in the United States Is de-
teriorating in size and weight. The
general result is that the average height
of New Englanders is found to be feet
1-2 inches, and of Southerners feet
10 inches. The average weight Of
Americans is between 155 and 100
pounds. Mr.. Atkinson also discovered
that the average height and weight of
men in this country have increased per-
ceptibiy since the war. He is convinced
that Americans are increasing rather
than decreasing in size.

A notable phase of railway industry is
a railway tie nursery, situated near the
little town of darlington, Kansas, in the
southern part of tho state. 1t is said to
be the largest artificial plantation of
forest trees in North America, and
is owned by the Southern Pacific.
The different sections have been
planted respectively two, four and six
years, onc-fourth being planted with the
ailanthus, tho rest with the catalina.
together with few white ash. Those
first planted arc now about twenty five
feet in height, the last about twelve

through the stem. There arc in all

the plantation; all we're planted four
feet apart ench way TO shade tho ground,
though eight feet is tho ultimate lntcn-
ton, this plan allowing three. fourths of
the trees to be cut out when they arc III

is expected the trees will make excellent
railway ties in great numbers-that is.
after a thinniug-out process there will
be some 0OO, 900 trees to come 10 matur-
Ity. The area of this vast railway tic
nursery Is TO be still further increased.

The London Live Stock Journal SAYS
that in England conflicts between horses
and bulls are not uncommon and are
usually disastrous to the horses. A fiery
colt often chases cattle in the pasture,
biting them rs they run; but when he
tackles bull the latter usually won't
run, but charges the colt broadside and
often kills him. Having como off best
once, the bull thereafter is apt to charge
horses that arc grazing quietly. 1t is
never safe to leave any bull in pasture
with horses.

Speaking of horses reminds me that q
company has been organized to transport
live cattle from the West to New York
at express train speed, and that recent
experiment from Chicago to New York
demonstrated the perfect feasibility Of
the venture. The cars are built on a
special plan, with all the running gear
constructed with view to ease Of mo-
ton. The rocking and straining of the
common cattle cars, which cause such a
heavy percentage Of loss on the trans
portation of live stock, arc altogether
avoided. The cars are literally palace
cars, being far better in construction
conveniences than the emIgrant cars in
use on most roads.

Interest in a Famous Iron Mine.
CHICAGO Jan. 25.-A special from Mil
waukee says; Papers have been filed in
the Menominee, Mich. circuit court in
volving the title of the famous Chaplin
mine at Iron Mountain. The mine is
valued at 50, 500, 600 and the lease is
owned by the Chaplin Mining Company of
Milwaukee. The complainant is the Rev.
John A, Banfeld of Tacoma, Washington
Territory. He sets forth in his complaint
that prior to the year 1864, the com.
plainant resided in Marquette, Mich and
had acquired valuable information in
respect to mineral lands in the Marquette
and Menominee iron ranges.
AT some time in 1864, the complainant
continues, the defendant, Henry A.
Chaplin, entered into an agreement with
the complainant that he would furnish
money, land warrants or scrip, with
which to make locations of mineral lands,
and the complainant was - use what in
| formation he was possessed OF and might
acquire, and to do whatever was neGts.
sary to secure the title to such lands from
the United States, and that he and the
| defendant (Chapin) were to share equally
in whatever profits might result or arise
from the venture; that acting under that
agreement and with that understanding
he subsequently selected and purchased
the property ON which the Chaplin mine
is now located and procured title
thereto, taking the deed in his own name
but as it was part of the understanding
that the title should be in Chapin's namt
until Chaplin should be repaid the amour
of his expenditures in making the pur
chase, the complainant on or about tn,
10Th day of May, 1855, conveyed the it'll
to Chaplin. Shortly after he removed t,
Washington Territory, and did not lear
until 1882 of the development and rich
ness of the mine. Chaplin now rePudiatet
all obligations on his part to account t,
or share with the complainant an,
portion of the profits realized iron
the property, and the suit is brough
to compel an accounting b.
Chaplin for all royalty received from sai,
property and to compel him TO pay owe
to the complainant one-half with interest
and to establish cemplainant's rights t
one-halt of ali royalties which may here
after accrue, as well as to establish hi
title TO an individual one.half interest il
the realty. The complainant is clergy
man and quite poor. II is said that owe
$500, 900 in royalty has already been pal
by the company to Chaplin.
